Beale’s Own Goal as he promotes Parks of Hamilton rival

As almost every Scottish football fan knows the Ibrox Tribute Act refused to take part in the SPFL sponsorship deal covering all four divisions.

Rather than apply their own laws Neil Doncaster caved in, allowed the rule breaking to last for a year then drew up a new contract that excluded the Tribute Act and required the other 11 clubs to provide more coverage to the car firm.

Despite listing 39 partnership/sponsorship deals which had no mention of Parks of Hamilton the Tribute Act refused to wear the Cinch logo on their sleeve or on the backing boards and advertising hoardings to protect the brand of their former Chairman.

You won’t see any mention of Cinch at Ibrox, for away matches a backing board without the Cinch logo is used. On the back of this Cinch have been given more publicity than they could have hoped for.

?? “I’ve been away speaking to some players over the last couple of days and it’s something that’s constantly ongoing in the background.”

Michael Beale says Rangers are ‘four or five’ transfer signings away from challenging Celtic ??

Yesterday morning to promote and reinvent himself to an English audience ahead of the inevitable Micky Beale appeared on TalkSPORT’s Breakfast Show.

Careful questioning about his fantastic impact at Ibrox was carried out with the radio station making the most of their scoop by sharing images on their website and social media.

Their breakfast show is sponsored by Arnold Clark, the biggest competitor to Parks of Hamilton.

That didn’t matter to Beale who explained some of the fings that he finks about, repeating the claim that at the start of the season the club he loves will be playing free games a week. Playing Sunday, Thursday, Sunday is three games in eight days, not free a week.
